Phase I
How is it going?
Not seeing students as often as last year.
Teachers forgetting
In 45 minutes can see about 12 students vs. whole class in 20-30 minutes
2nd grade – especially difficult finding books on their own
ISLMA – from Janice – most schools that have flexible scheduling – each class has a fixed time and flexible time all other times.
Larger schools need more time from library aide.
Phase II
1. Collaborative Planning Forms
Remove “planning” from “Unit planning begin (date):”
We can start using the forms.
It will be in electronic format eventually – we need to use it for awhile first.

Important, but not tying up two professionals – debate is who is doing it – classroom teachers need to be reading.
Why are you doing it?
Wrong model – LMS reads books, teachers grade papers
Maximize my adults, maximize time with kids – pull small groups for teaching.
Spend our budget – big chunk by January and the rest by May.
Not sure if it is Title l - Jerry will check.
Per Capita Grant will be about $300.00.
